And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.

Verse 29 is found in chapter 18 of 1 Kings. Elijah challenges the people over their indecision and proposes that the prophets of Baal prepare a sacrifice without lighting the fire. For hours they call upon Baal, but receive no response. The silence of the invoked god contrasts with the expectations of his prophets. The scene uses the absence of a response as a narrative device preparing for the Lord’s manifestation.

Da aber Mittag vergangen war, weissagten sie bis um die Zeit, da man Speisopfer tun sollte; und da war keine Stimme noch Antwort noch Aufmerken.
Y como pasó el medio día, y ellos profetizaran hasta el tiempo del sacrificio del presente, y no había voz, ni quien respondiese ni escuchase;
Lorsque midi fut passé, ils prophétisèrent jusqu'au moment de la présentation de l'offrande. Mais il n'y eut ni voix, ni réponse, ni signe d'attention.
E quando il mezzodì fu passato, ed essi ebbero profetizzato fino all’ora che si offerisce l’offerta, non essendovi nè voce, nè chi rispondesse, nè chi attendesse a ciò che facevano,
E sucedeu que, passado o meio dia, profetizaram eles, até a hora de se oferecer o sacrifício da tarde; porém não houve voz, nem resposta, nem atenção alguma.
中午過去了,他們狂呼亂叫,直到獻晚祭的時候,卻沒有聲音,沒有回應的,也沒有理睬的。
